“The store actually looks more organized, especially in the craft section, there are other areas that could be more organized, i really only saw 1 person on floor but I was also looking for what I needed, very happy I found some yarn in here, usually couldnt find any before but like I said it was more organized instead of everyone thrown everywhere. Wish they had more men's clothes though especially shirts, yes I know everything is donated so its random on what they have. Wished prices would be a bit lower, and sets would be priced together instead of individually, but all that aside i do like coming here I find cool things all the time”
“An actual thrift store in Dayton is a welcome sight.
Unlike Village Discount Outlet or Valley Thrift, here you can find furniture and clothes for actually reasonable prices. No broken Amazon bookshelves priced higher than new, no flannels for $30 or used destroyed shoes for $40. Wow!”
“Wow what service! I pulled up with a ton of clothes and Pax was right there waiting to help! It was getting ready to storm so was trying to get back home fast! I hope your boss sees your great work and gives you a raise! Thanks again!”
“I enjoy the selection and neatness of this store. I don't like the hours though - for a store meant to support active duty airmen and their families, you can only go during working hours.”
“I usually find great items here and the staff are extremely nice. We've been helping a family member clean out their house and have come by to drop stuff off on multiple occasions and the workers have been kind,helpful, and efficient.”
“I love this store! Mary is the sole owner/operator and is a super sweet lady. She'll do anything for anyone and I've grown to love her. She's a very good friend and even if she's not open all of the time, this is one of the eclectic stores that Xenia needs for those little treasures that can't be found anywhere else. ????”
“I absolutely love this store! Finding everything from useful furniture all the way to nostalgic items we had growing up. I have an amazing rocking chair, glass cookware, books and even some amazing VHS! I love browsing the isle two or three times, you never know what you might find.”
“I love this store and it’s a great place for finding little things for your house that are cute and vintage for cheap!! The staff is also always nice and it’s a very friendly place”
“I arrived for delivery at 6:00 AM. My appointment window was from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The gate was closed when I arrived, but there are a few spots outside the gate for overnight truck parking.
I tried to check in at 7:00 AM and it worked — they opened the gate and gave me a dock right away. Some pallets had shifted, but that was the shipper’s fault because the load was not stacked properly.
I was completely unloaded by 9:15 AM. Overall, it was a positive experience.

“This is the best goodwill around! It’s the cleanest, most organized and well stocked goodwill I have found in this area. The staff is amazing (shout out to Tina!) and I never leave empty handed.”
“Never have I been so impressed with the organization of a thrift store as I was here at Saint Francis! You would think you were at Macy's. It is incredible... the staff can actually tell you which aisle you could find a lid for your frying pan or Crock-Pot! And everything is color ordinated ... AND they have a huge section of 49 cent items! And a new furniture showroom.... you have to see this place in person to experience the thrill of thrift shopping!!! LOL...no kidding I was totally impressed! ?”
“Products and prices are fine but the staff wear surprisingly unprofessional clothing....
EDIT: Management was very responsive to this review and contacted me that the issue should be getting resolved. :)”
“I love adding this stop to my thrift trip! They almost always have something that I would pick up. The prices are inconsistent, but that means sometimes the stuff you want it super cheap! It can be disappointing though, and I have noticed their prices rising. Theres now way to many items around the $20+ range. Id recommend stopping at The Goodwill Bins across the street first to see if you can find cheaper alternatives”
“I went there looking to update my closet. I found so many name brands at affordable prices and in top notch condition. Would recommend for everyone to check it out”
“I had a really great experience at Plato’s Closet! When I came in, it was very busy and the line was about 8 people long. I think I came in right during rush hour because a bunch of people walked in around the same time, lol. Even though it was busy and a little overwhelming the staff stayed calm and professional, which honestly helped me feel more at ease too. I dropped a couple items off at the counter for pricing, and Ava H. helped me. She specifically told me there were two Avas working, so I wanted to make sure I mentioned the right one. The other Ava was also very helpful too. They were so delightful, friendly, and Ava H had a big smile on her face, which made the experience feel so much better. I also saw a customer get upset/rude for being inpatient, which was stressful to witness, but the employees handled it really well and de-escalated the situation calmly. I’m not sure of their names, but one girl had short hair and glasses and the other had long brown hair. They both did a great job. Overall, the staff were great, I left feeling better than when I walked in, and I got a good deal on my two items. Whatever they’re making, double it, because it would be tragic to lose staff like this. Definitely recommend!”
“I almost always find something here, usually they have their stuff priced reasonably. However, I went in today and found a pair of American Eagle jeans that were located in the $5 jeans section so I'm thinking that they were going to be $5. I was super excited about it until the store associate changed the price to $10 at the checkout counter ?? I obviously passed on it but you guys get your stuff donated lmao I just don't understand”
“We loved this hidden treasure! Staff was helpful and friendly. Lots of cool items from vintage to funky. Sad to hear the location is closing because we'd totally visit again!”
